10 Reality Stars Turned “Pop Stars”

A new reality tv show? Nah. If it can survive Bachelor Pad it can survive anything.

A YouTube obsession? After Rebecca Black I really don’t think anyone could compete.

A combination between the two? Why yes, I think that would be a bit much. So of course that’s what we’ve got on our hands right now. Ladies, may I be the first to tell you about the new album PopEater calls a “bass-thumping, synth-heavy dance track filled with defiant lyrics aimed at “cheeky tongue waggers.” May I be the first (and hopefully the last) to tell you about Real Housewives star, Simon van Kempen’s new album, I Am Real.

But before I send you off to listen to this masterpiece, I thought we should all take a little trip down memory lane and remind ourselves of a few of the other reality stars who have made the jump to autotuned iTunes singles. Grab your barf bag; it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
